Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engine cut-away

Cut-away of the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine. This engine was one of the instructional aids at the former San Jose State University aviation campus on Coleman Avenue. I regret that I did not record exactly which model this cutaway represents.

 

Many variants of the R-2800 were built over a period of decades, and it was one of the most successful radial engines ever built.
